| Obverse description | Central field displays a fleur-de-lis in high relief, rendered in a bold Gothic style characteristic of medieval municipal coinage. The fleur-de-lis is enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded border. The circumferential legend MONETA:DEMINENS runs around the outer field in uncial Latin characters, separated by stops. The coin exhibits the irregular flan and uneven strike typical of hand-hammered billon issues of the late medieval period. |

| Reverse description | Central field depicts a gryphon passant in low relief within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a beaded border. The creature is rendered in a schematic Gothic manner consistent with medieval Pomeranian civic heraldry. The circumferential legend CIVITAS:DVC:WOLGA is inscribed in uncial Latin characters around the outer field, with stops separating the words. The overall strike quality is characteristic of hammered billon municipal issues of the 14th to 15th century. |
